4.
- 1984 shogun frame/fork (modified)
- 1980s Suntour RD
- 1970s Huret FD
- 1960s TA cranks
- 2011 TA chainrings
- 1995 Shimano BB
- 1970s Suntour shifters
- 1984 SR seatpost
- 1980s Nitto stem
- 2011 Lumotec headlight and taillight (modified)
- 2011 wheelset
- 2011 Tektro brake levers
- 1950s MAFAC canti brakes
- 1970s Belleri bars
- 1950s Soubitez taillight (modified)
- 2011 VO fenders, front rack, bottle cages, decaleur
- 1990s MKS pedals
[I think that qualifies as multigenerational frankenbike as it spans the 1050s thorugh 2001, with Japanese, French, Austrailian and Tawianese component!]
5. I did all the mods myself
6. I selected everything
Does this qualify?
I seriously love that bike more every time I see it. It's absolutely perfect.
